In the end, Boone discovers that it was Agent Sandoval who hired a hit man (Judson Corr) to kill his wife, in order to ensure his loyalty to the Companions. Sandoval even had his own wife committed to a mental asylum to keep her out of the way. This isn't exactly a surprising ending considering what a jerk Sandoval is throughout the entire series, although since it's only the second episode we don't know him too well yet.

Not trusting Murray for a second, Lili and Boone broke into his headquarters and rushed Julie out of the building. Boone and Lili arranged for her to appear on a top-rated talk show, where she announced to the world that although the operation had failed, she still considered it a miracle. This wasn't quite what Boone and Lili were hoping for her to say, and despite the failure of the experiment, membership in the Church rapidly increased. Thrilled, Da'an complimented Murray on his success.
